Note: This is a comment I put on a political site called BigCityLib Strikes Back and decided to repeat here.
It's interesting, don't you think, how much of Anders Behring Breivik's persona has turned out to be pure vapour?
He's a Christian only he doesn't actually believe what Christians do.
He's a right winger only he doesn't seem to have any right wing connections.
He's driven by ideology only his ideology turns out to be a huge jumble that he cut and paste from dozens of different sources.
At what point do we begin to explore the possibility that his real motive here was fame and that all this religious/political/ideological stuff is maybe just some mythology no more real than the Maltese Falcon that he carefully elaborated to fascinate the press?
